Starting off my Oscar Predictions I’ve decided to go with the category of best actor for episode 1.
The nominees are:
Timothee Chalamet- Call me by Your Name
Denzel Washington- Roman J Israel Esq.
Gary Oldman- Darkest Hour
Daniel Kaluuya- Get Out
Daniel Day Lewis- Phantom Thread
My prediction is that Gary Oldman will win due to the fact that he is playing a historical figure, which the academy enjoys. I also feel that it is more a career Oscar to reward him for a great career. Although it’s the last movie for Daniel Day Lewis before he retires, I don’t believe he will win. A personal favorite of mine is Timothee Chalamet who I hope will pull out an upset. He would be the youngest to ever win best actor and I feel his performance outshined all others this year. Since he’s young and has plenty of opportunities to win an Oscar in the future, the academy will not give him the award this year. Gary Oldman is most likely the winner of the Best Actor as he’s sweeped all the major award ceremonies.
